CAUTION
Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
Risk of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 65 °C (149 °F).
• Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
• Make sure that protective measures do not cause the maximum permissible ambient
temperature to be exceeded. Refer to the information in Technical data (Page 127).
CAUTION
External stresses and loads
Damage to device by severe external stresses and loads (e.g. thermal expansion or pipe
tension). Process media can be released.
• Prevent severe external stresses and loads from acting on the device.
Note
In order to meet the ame-retardant requirements of the attached cable, only use type-tested
sheathed cables with a cable connection length of ≥ 6 m for a cable length.
4.1.1 Installation and location requirements
CAUTION
High vibration area
Especially with the stainless steel housing version of TS500, use short extensions or external
supports when used in a high vibration area.
When TS100/200 sensors are installed in a high vibrating area, use also external supports to x
the probe stem: the unsupported length must not exceed 150 mm and the free end must not
exceed 100 mm.
NOTICE
Direct sunlight
Damage to device.
The device can overheat or materials become brittle due to UV exposure.
• Protect the device from direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the maximum permissible ambient temperature is not exceeded. Refer to
the information in Technical data (Page 127).
